USING DDNS SERVICE ON YOUR LINKSYS SMART ROUTERS

DDNS stands for Dynamic Domain Name System is used to assign a computer a fixed domain name without changing its DHCP configuration. Since it does not assign a static IP address and also retain the DHCP configuration, the network is still protected by potential hackers and attackers.

If you want to access your network remotely and securely, Linksys Router Supportsuggests you to use this feature. It will also allow you to access the devices in the network. In this way you can also access devices like camera in your network using DDNS for remote monitoring. It is also a great choice if you want to host your website or setup a server without disabling DHCP.
